No, house fire and soot damage (flames did not reach my room, but a lot of smoke did). The CDs should be fine, they said, and they've already been removed from the house for cleaning. I don't know if they've taken the vinyls, but I hope the dust covers I have prevented anything from damaging the records themselves (although I expect the covers and inserts probably smell of smoke). I also have a few things (albums by Metal Church, Pestilence, Tiamat, and The Sisters of Mercy) that got stuck in my CD changer (and I wonder if I'll have to replace my stereo components, too) when the power was shut off.

I really don't have any goals for 2009 but I do want to achieve some goodies in my want list. I'll buy and/or trade whenever I come across the things I want. What I do know, as I stated on the 2008 goals thread, is I'm definitely getting the following:

Bathory's first three LP's on original pressings
Bulldozer's The Day of Wrath LP
Sabbat's Disembody LP
Demigod's Slumber of Sullen Eyes LP
Mythic's Mourning in the Winter Solstice EP (I think someone here is looking for one, message me if you need it)

I've got these items reserved for January 2009 from a seller once I obtain the funds to get 'em._________________Good traders/sellers: Yosuke of NWN!

Does not sound good. Hope you didn't have any water damage on top of this!

Me too. That would mean the ASUNDER 2LP and die-hard copies of a couple I really like that I only have regulars of (DEAD CONGREGATION, BLASPHEMY F.A.O.D.). By the way, Reed, I'm working on a more detailed Excel file (like the one I sent you), so I'll send that on to you when I'm done. Good luck on your search for EREBUS.

But are you sure the VON reissues are gonna happen in 2009? He's been talking about these since, like, 1986, right?_________________THINGS THAT WILL BE DELETED:
